hokie carla

well HOET and (past) time for bed. 92 left for tomorrow.

12:47 am

Onpaki

hello

12:48 am

dcseain

good morning, onpaki

12:49 am

sprite

morning babblers

12:49 am

dcseain

morning, sprite

12:50 am

sprite

hiya seain!

1:00 am

dcseain

I'm hoping my new daily wear glasses com in this week.

1:01 am

sprite

fingers crossed. Though you look smashing in your shades

1:01 am

dcseain

thank you. those are new too.

1:02 am

sprite

having the right glasses really improves your life

1:02 am

dcseain

Maui Jim produces the prescription sunglasses, even with my custom lens request, faster than the regular glasses place does.

1:02 am

dcseain

And I'm shocked that so many people I know don't understand that my sense needs are complex, hence I cannot use the cheap online places.

1:03 am

sprite

I don't know that name

1:03 am

sprite

oh I hear you. I have astygmatism, no online lenses for me.

1:03 am

dcseain

Maui Jim is a brand of sunglass, which makes presumption lenses for their sunglasses.

1:03 am

dcseain

prescription, non presumption. silly autocorrect

1:04 am

sprite

ah, I see. Yeah, it costs a whole lot of money but really worth it

1:04 am

sprite

autocorrect is crazy

1:04 am

dcseain

exactly. After insurance, both pairs together cost me US$2242

1:05 am

dcseain

that's almost the cost of a month's rent for an apartment where I live.

1:05 am

sprite

yeah, really, as they say in the Netherlands, it costs you a rib out of your body, but it is worth it.

1:06 am

dcseain

an excellent expression.

1:15 am

dcseain

okay. finally NBT/NBS. Bed time.

1:15 am

dcseain

happy babbling, yall

1:17 am

sprite

bye seain, sleep well!

1:29 am

grannyrose

* hugs * sprite. 6 days but i'm not counting... lol pain levels are pretty good considering. * happy sigh * but very tired, and sometimes downright sleepy.

1:33 am

sprite

hello my darling. You are doing so very well. *hugs*

1:34 am

sprite

omg I found the 10!

1:34 am

grannyrose

i can't quite believe it. it HAS to be something about the exercise regime.

1:35 am

grannyrose

well done honey. i couldn't believe my eyes when i found it too.

1:35 am

sprite

no doubt. It really pays.

1:37 am

grannyrose

also wondering if it's because i have reduced my duloxetine.i've been on a very reduced dose for about 6 months. about the time when things started to go in a positive direction for me.

1:38 am

sprite

and what do you take that for?

1:39 am

grannyrose

it was prescribed by GP because it is one of the drugs which is supposed to help with FM. but i found it totally useless. no discernible difference in how i was feeling at all. too many doc's still prescribe to the fact that FM is all in the brain.

1:40 am

sprite

ah, right. Great idea then to stop taking it

1:42 am

grannyrose

i'm down to one capsule 60mgs three times/week. that's all. after i come home again i'm going to cut out one dose. see how i go. this drug is really unforgiving. you cannot stop cold turkey.

1:43 am

sprite

always smart to slowly build it down

1:43 am

grannyrose

and how are you traveling, honey?

1:44 am

sprite

not doing too great atm. BPPD is acting up and I am coughing badly. Am upping my asthma meds.

1:45 am

grannyrose

ugh. so sorry to read that sweetheart.

1:45 am

sprite

hey, it is nothing serious, just some minor stuff. It will pass.

1:48 am

sprite

I forgot to take the magnesium last night and I had cramps again. So that makes it official, it really helps!

1:48 am

grannyrose

not happy about the cough though. it's been so cold still first thing in the mornings that i have been coughing until i nearly choke. all asthma of course.

1:50 am

sprite

I am to take a higher dose when it acts up, so am doing that now. It will do the trick. Haven't had any serious long issues since being diagnosed and medicated.

1:50 am

grannyrose

i was going to ask about the magnesium. not happy you had a bad night with cramps, but if it underlines how much it is helping you, well, that's good.

1:50 am

sprite

yeah that is good. I tend to undermedicate. So knowing it really helps is a great motivator for me to take it.

1:51 am

grannyrose

i just wish more people would listen to me about the malate form. it works so well.

1:53 am

sprite

I couldn't find a malate slow release here, but what I found is maybe even better. It has magnesium citrate, malate, bisglycinate and taurate

1:54 am

grannyrose

oh okay. malate is still in the mix then.

1:54 am

sprite

yes it definitely is.

1:55 am

sprite

am loving this grid!

1:55 am

grannyrose

yes. i flew through it. even the longer words jumped out and bit me.

1:56 am

sprite

yeah, I am usually biggieblind, but not today

1:57 am

Kamanjah

In addition to the malate, I find the Dr.'s Best Glycinate, which is chelated, works to stop leg cramps. I'm almost out and my shipment isn't due until the 23rd. So, I added an extra malate and, so far, no cramps.

1:58 am

Kamanjah

Hi!

1:58 am

sprite

wtg Kam!

1:58 am

grannyrose

* hugs * kam honey

1:59 am

Kamanjah

Hugs to both of you!

1:59 am

sprite

*hugs* right back at ya

1:59 am

grannyrose

so do you think you can let the gylcinate go, Kam?

2:01 am

Kamanjah

No way!

2:02 am

grannyrose

fair enough.

2:02 am

Kamanjah

The doc I used to see is a specialist in nutrition, and he was the one who recommended it. I was already using malate and the glycinate made a huge difference.

2:02 am

Kamanjah

Do you know of a problem with using it?

2:03 am

sprite

I have better results with the magnesium complex than with the pure malate.

2:04 am

grannyrose

no Kam. but i do wonder about the total amount of magnesium is in the combined 4 types.

2:06 am

Kamanjah

I've looked into it, and keep track of my intake of each type I use. My body tells me if I mess up.

2:06 am

sprite

I sent you a pic of the label, rose

2:07 am

grannyrose

good Kam

2:10 am

grannyrose

got it thanks. it looks like the label says you actually get 200mg/tablet. is that right?

2:11 am

sprite

no, that is the daily dose. So half per tablet

2:12 am

grannyrose

good. supposed to only have 350mg/day.... lol.... i don't think that applies to FM sufferers.

2:13 am

sprite

I take one in the morning and one before bed. So far, that is all I need. So that is 200mg/day, well within the limit. And I know I can up it if I need.

2:13 am

Kamanjah

I agree, Rose. Our bodies burn it fast.

2:14 am

sprite

that it does

2:16 am

grannyrose

can't wait to see what comes out of the new research results. probably not in our lifetimes i guess. but hopefully Juno's.

2:16 am

sprite

yes. And nowadays, research goes faster. We might even see some results yet.

2:18 am

Kamanjah

That would be nice. FM has been misunderstood for far too long. Now my daughter is worried she may have it. I hope not!

2:18 am

sprite

oh Kam... I hope not too. Fingers crossed.

2:19 am

grannyrose

poor love. i hope not too. it's such hard work.

2:22 am

Kamanjah

Thanks. The last time we talked, she was asking a lot of questions. She passed 40 last year, so I think maybe she is just feeling her age. She has always been super active and she teaches Zumba classes. I told her to take life a little easier - she has always been an over-achiever.

2:24 am

sprite

well, pushing yourself beyond your limits is something often seen in FM patients. I hope it is just age but she might be experiencing legitimate symptoms.

2:26 am

grannyrose

ain't that the truth Sprite....* looks at ceiling * like what you've done up there... lol

2:26 am

sprite

*whistles a little tune and looks innocently at the ceiling too* Nope, no idea what you mean.

2:27 am

grannyrose

* giggle *

2:28 am

sprite

fireflies. What a joy, this grid.

2:28 am

Kamanjah

Oh yeah, I hear you. I wish she would call me more often. I always seem to call when she's too busy to talk. It bummed me out she never asked the outcome the the second skin biopsy.

2:29 am

Kamanjah

WTG, Sprite!

2:29 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

2:29 am

sprite

that hurts, Kam. Maybe you really need to talk about that with her.

2:30 am

sprite

*hugs* to you both. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night!

2:30 am

Kamanjah

You too!

2:30 am

grannyrose

i feel your hurt Kam. ditto for me with my three boys. it's like i'm not a part of their family at all.

2:30 am

grannyrose

* hugs * darling sprite

2:31 am

Kamanjah

I just found an ir5 that describes how she makes me feel sometimes.

2:33 am

grannyrose

i have to stand back and second, third, or even fourth place in their lives. they have no idea what i am living with, and what i go through on a daily basis.

2:34 am

grannyrose

ahem.. that is... TAKE second, third etc

2:34 am

Marmar

Hi dear Babblers. Just chiming in here about FM...I was diagnosed with that after my 50th and the doctors treated it and me like, well you know. Talked about lifelong meds, hormone replacement and therapists. I had three young kids and a house to run and I did not have time for all the appointments let alone the treatments they were talking about . I cut out suger, coffee, I started walking...a LOT, moving with the kids at play in the garden more, started drinking green tea and rooibus tea about 6 times a day, prayed more, got sufficient sleep and low and behold, it went away. Maybe I was misdiagnosed, but I feel like I scared it away.

2:34 am

Kamanjah

I know, Rose. It hurts. We haven't gotten on so well since she didn't show up for my wedding to Michael in 2011.

2:35 am

grannyrose

but the other day i was thinking very deeply about their attitudes. and i am GLAD that they are so busy taking care of their families.

2:37 am

grannyrose

marmar, research shows it comes and goes. sorry to be the harbinger of bad news. FM is triggered by high stress events. my last event was post-op revision total knee replacement.

2:41 am

Kamanjah

Mar, FM is a weird thing. I wish I could exercise it away, but it's hitting me harder as I get older. Of course, I think my age is slowing me down too. FM isn't the only thing I'm dealing with. Add on chronic fatigue and skeletal problems and I can't get too much done each day. Losing my hubby hit me like a brick.

2:41 am

grannyrose

* gently hugs * Kam

2:43 am

Marmar

yes, it's probably different for each person. That was 15 years ago and so far so good. During that phase of life I also did some cleanses, the Master cleanse, which I loved, a few years later I did 6 months of Anthony 'Williams' celery juice protocols and that too was wonderful. I backslid back into some less healthy habits but I can certainly recommend both of those things to anyone. Sorry for your loss Kam

2:44 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Mar. I've read about celery juice, but I never figured out how to make it. It's not sold here.

2:48 am

Marmar

Kam, I am a huge fan. I bought a juicer for it. The pre-juiced celery often comes with added ingredients and/or is pasturized. It should be fresh and pure. I truely loved that. i am mentally trying to prepare to do it again. Everything felt better when I was on it and my hair grew like crazy! If you want to know more, Anthony William is kind of the original instigator of it. I heard about while listening to Louise Hay recordings. (I just love her!)

2:51 am

Kamanjah

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it. My hair is so thin that my scalp shows. I hate it.

2:55 am

Marmar

Kam, actaully, my recent hair thinning is my motivation to start it up again :) I have always had a nice thick mane and I mostly have had it pretty long. It was my trademark! And the last couple years, it has been slowly thinning....I am very hopeful it will help regain its thickness.

2:56 am

Marmar

2:56 am

Marmar

aleet

2:57 am

Marmar

OH NOOOOO, sorry! It's been ages since I participated in the chat!

2:58 am

grannyrose

just an aside here. my mother, god rest her soul, in the latter days of her life began using a men's shampoo called Regain. what she didn't realise it was a colour restoring shampoo. and she thought her hair was regaining it's natural colour even though she was in her 80's.

2:59 am

Marmar

Funny, I just saw an ad for that brand but as a formula for women.

3:00 am

Kamanjah

My mom would get her scalp colored. My aunt wore a wig for about her last 25 years. She lived to be over 100! The women in my family just don't have nice hair.

3:01 am

grannyrose

my hair dresser calls my hair a wooly fleece. when i am due for a trim, i really do like a dandelion gone to seed.

3:02 am

Marmar

(((me quickly looking up Regaine on Amazon.de)))

3:03 am

Kamanjah

What hair I have is long and curly. I have wisps growing back, so it's hard to keep tidy. A bun is the daily style.

3:04 am

Marmar

Love the bun!!!

3:06 am

grannyrose

i'm a wash and run lady. just wash the hair, run a comb through it, and go. never had the patience for curlers, hair-dryers etc, when it was waist-length up into a pony tail, using a few combs and clips i would turn it into rather large bun.

3:09 am

Marmar

That's more my style Grannyrose, I have a bit of a wave, not much but if air dry it for a bit then use the hairdryer nad scrunch it a bit, it looks ok. Like long beach waves.

3:15 am

grannyrose

time for me to leave. enjoy this lovely grid. the biggies are reasonably easy to find. xx

3:16 am

Kamanjah

G'day, Rose! It's time for me to head to bed soon. I want to find a few more words and then get some good rest.

3:18 am

Aloyisius

3:24 am

worzel

9:33 am

hokie carla

I'm a bit stuck at 38 left

9:33 am

hokie carla

9:34 am

penquis

9:34 am

rururocks

9:34 am

rururocks

hi pen

Morning, pen and ru.

9:36 am

hi Bea...

9:38 am

rururocks

9:38 am

hokie carla

still need 4 c's

9:38 am

hokie carla

pen!

9:38 am

penquis

carla!

9:39 am

hokie carla

wishful thinking I guess...just for a moment saw cilantro

9:43 am

rururocks

there's another cooking item in the g's hokie

9:44 am

hokie carla

yes, I found that one last night but it took me a while. still need 4 g's too.

9:45 am

rururocks

oh thought it might have gone right pasta

9:46 am

hokie carla

you don't mince words

9:48 am

rururocks

yeah and I'm not a dim bulb

9:52 am

hokie carla

oh, I remember my missing P is PE8 but I can't find. is this a regular word?

9:52 am

MollyL

No

9:52 am

hokie carla

spare a clue, P&TY?

9:53 am

rururocks

having feathers

9:53 am

rururocks

it's a normal word

9:53 am

hokie carla

hmm, a clue that might help?

9:53 am

rururocks

having feathers is a clue

9:53 am

hokie carla

hmm, molly says not regular, ruru says it is. who do I believe...

9:53 am

rururocks

you'll have to wing it from there

9:53 am

MollyL

That is not what the definition says

9:54 am

hokie carla

yes, I realized it was a clue but that's why I asked for one that might help

9:54 am

rururocks

could be oceanic too

9:54 am

hokie carla

but thanks for trying🤣

9:54 am

penquis

hairy would be more of a clue...

9:54 am

MollyL

That is what I thought Pen

9:54 am

penquis

it's an adjective....

9:55 am

hokie carla

okay, have been trying one adj ending, maybe it's the other

9:55 am

penquis

it's the longer adjective ending....

9:55 am

penquis

the word flows kind of diagonally....hard to clue...

9:56 am

hokie carla

hmm, was thinking -ic or -al so neither of those is longer

9:56 am

penquis

the latter with a vowe before it...

9:56 am

MollyL

Okay, this dictionary gives the hairy definition and other dictionaries only give the ocean one. Weird.

9:57 am

MollyL

And it is NOT a normal word.

9:57 am

penquis

starts like the company that sells windows and doors...

9:57 am

rururocks

thought it would relate to birds like sheerwaters, murres and such but it's more ocean / sea related my mistake

9:57 am

penquis

at least it sounds like that company....

9:58 am

rururocks

it actually sounds like a sexual position for people who do pilates

9:59 am

penquis

there is the related word...pe 7....

9:59 am

penquis

both end like adjectives...

10:00 am

hokie carla

thanks, pen. I actually called the 7 last night so apparently just needed to know they were related to find it.

10:00 am

penquis

yw...

10:03 am

hokie carla

phantom cretin

10:05 am

rururocks

there are cretins who flow through here from time to time so it's never a phantom for me

10:11 am

hokie carla

how about the in8? normal or not?

10:11 am

hokie carla

ha, very normal

10:16 am

BzznBea

Still have two 8's

10:16 am

hokie carla

I just need 1 but need 4 7s

10:16 am

penquis

i am missing two 8s...

10:17 am

hokie carla

I think the P is the only weird one

10:17 am

hokie carla

though one is a plural of an adj so you might not have tried it

10:18 am

penquis

found that one...ty....

10:19 am

hokie carla

np

10:20 am

BzznBea

I found la8

10:20 am

penquis

i am still missing one 8....

10:20 am

hokie carla

interesting. which L does it originate?

10:21 am

hokie carla

from which

10:21 am

BzznBea

bottom l

10:21 am

penquis

the bottom L has no A to go with it...

10:21 am

hokie carla

hmm, normal or not?

10:21 am

BzznBea

normal plural

10:22 am

hokie carla

duh

10:22 am

hokie carla

I peri'd it. saw as soon as I asked.

10:22 am

hokie carla

the bottom L has 2 A's next to it, pen!

10:23 am

penquis

no, there is an L in the bottom row...

10:23 am

penquis

oh...just noticed that there are no words for that one....duh....

10:23 am

hokie carla

yeah, but that doesn't count since it has 0 words

10:23 am

BzznBea

I didn't count that as it is 0/0

10:23 am

penquis

are there two LA 8 words?....

10:24 am

penquis

nm....found the li 8....

10:24 am

Namaste means the yoga class is over

10:51 am

MollyL

No more dogging down

10:52 am

moolingwa

hey pen, sorry got pulled away there

10:53 am

rururocks

it's actually means "bowing down to the divine in you" but it's kind of used loosely around these parts.

10:53 am

rururocks

kind of like toodle Pips and BBL and such

10:54 am

MollyL

And I doubt it's meant like that

10:55 am

rururocks

beats me how it is meant..

10:55 am

MollyL

It's kind of like that "bless your heart" thing in the south

10:56 am

rururocks

bless your heart and have a piece of pie?

10:56 am

MollyL

And a co-cola

11:00 am

rururocks

yoga class is over is a bit of a stretch really

11:16 am

MollyL

It's a little round the bend
